Thanks for clarifying! I should give Firefox a try again, when I tried last time it wasn't good enough. Chrome's devtools had many features of timing and performance which were absent or not good enough last time I tried.
Yes, Firefox is good for browsing but as a developer who has to work on the frontend, the ecosystem isn't there in Firefox. Many of the framework debugging tools for React, Redux, etc. don't work well in Firefox.
Slightly off topic: Does anyone else have the problem of constantly being logged out of your Google accounts on Brave. I keep getting logged out even without closing the browser. I have tweeted to them but haven't been able to get a response. I am so annoyed with the experience that I stopped recommending it and am planning to switch back to Chrome.
Edit: I have multiple Google accounts signed into. And also, it does not block all ads in GMail which uBlock on Chrome is able to.
I mentioned the facts and your observations about my personal opinions are incorrect. I want EVs too but the price conscious Indian market won't buy them at current prices/performance.
1. Even the top courts in India have questioned the government on it but the government has no answer. I am not sure what information you have that you can emphasise that it has to. There is no political/public pressure only a marketing one.
2. Exactly! But enforcing of shorter deadlines by government is not going to help anyone and result in a few outrages by the road by the drivers and forgotten by everyone by the next news cycle.
Ofcourse I don't; as I am not a climate scientist who is doing research on it. I am from India and am giving a reality check. As for how switch to electric cars, I have answered @ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20117147.
HN threads are for healthy discussions and I would not expect a solution to climate change here.
Your language is aggressive & attacks me personally and I am not going to respond further.
And the car size, range and pricing competitive? A VC handing out money to a startup will not usher electric taxis. People will need to start buying them because they are better, cheaper and more powerful.
Indian cars/manufacturing/importing has different economics and pollution impacts. You are free do your own research and make up your mind.
I am not against electric cars, I want them. I am against the idea to replace cars which have already contributed to significant pollution being removed from road.
The lowest hanging fruit for me is to get US and other top polluters to reduce pollution. India and China are doing good already as they are increasing more green cover. The reality is the India car drivers cannot afford the cheaper electric cars, forget about Tesla.
Electric cars produce more CO2 during manufacturing.
Indian taxis/cars on Indian roads do worse.
India's electric market is 60% coal.
"If you want good return-on-investment, taxis are the first vehicles we should be regulating. They drive a lot more than the average car." - Who is the you here? The car driver who is trying to make ends meet?
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Ruby-on-Rails, React, TypeScript
